The invention relates to a pH (Potential of
Hydrogen) responsive fluorescent carbon
nanoparticle hybrid microgel and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) weighing fluorescent
carbon nanoparticles, using
methylene dichloride to dissolve and prepare a fluorescent carbon
nanoparticle solution, adding
acyl chloride monomers, reacting for 10 h under
room temperature, removing a reaction
solvent, adding water, and
drying through rotation; (2) weighing to obtain double-bonded fluorescent
carbon nanoparticles, adding the double-bonded fluorescent
carbon nanoparticles into
distilled water, transferring the liquid into a reaction container, adding a cross-linking agent,
sodium dodecyl sulfate and pH
responsive polymer monomers after exhausting air, introducing
nitrogen gas to exhaust the air, heating, and adding an initiating agent into a three-opening
bottle after reaction liquid begins to
backflow; (3) continuously introducing
nitrogen gas and stirring, and carrying out a
backflow reaction for 5-20 h at 50-90 DEG C; (4) filtering after cooling to
room temperature, taking filter liquor, and placing the filter liquor in a
dialysis bag for dialyzing for 48 h. The obtained product is free of biological
toxicity, the grain
diameter of the product is about 760 nm,
fluorescent light has good pH responsiveness under the excitation of the same
wavelength, and the product has a good application in the fields of
drug release,
pH sensing and
catalysis.
